Keith Odell Philpot, age 66, of Mena, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, March 20, 2025, surrounded by his family.

He was preceded in death by his father, James Odell Philpot; his mother, Wanda Lyda; his sister, Deborah Philpot; and cousins Richard Philpot and Jonathan Philpot.
